This is the meticulously curated tome that catalogs all 3,022 paintings on display at the Musée du Louvre, the world's most renowned art museum. The Louvre's unparalleled collection includes such masterworks as Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People, Vermeer's The Lacemaker and da Vinci icons Mona Lisa and Madonna of the Rocks, all of which are reproduced in brilliant color. Four hundred of the most significant pieces are further illuminated through essays by art historians, including Vincent Pomarède, chief curator of the Louvre's painting collection. Wrapped in a sturdy slipcase, the book includes a DVD that allows readers to browse the entire collection on a computer, sorting entries by artist, date, or genre. A walk-through option even lets viewers take a room-by-room tour of the paintings exactly as a visitor would in person. 784 pages. 10 1/2" H x 10 1/2" W x 2" D. (10 lbs.)

Beautifully arranged. My wife and I went to the Louvre some years ago and this is a wonderful trip down memory lane. The book is so good I haven't even had a chance to check out the complimentary compact disc with all the paintings.

To be sure, this is one of the most complete and most gratifying books I have in my extensive library of world books. I only wish I could havepurchased a larger 24" x 36" version (Which is NOTavailable) but wish it was?
